Stadium Activity

Munster Rugby encourages all supporters to arrive early and make the 16th Man heard as soon as the players take to the pitch for their warm up. The team are scheduled to arrive at the stadium between 3 and 3:15 local time.
Make your voice heard when Cara O'Sullivan performs Stand Up And Fight ten minutes before kick-off.
A Guard Of Honour made up of 6 Munster supporters and 6 Toulon Supporters will line the tunnel as both teams make their way on to the field for kick-off. Also keep an eye out for Munster's mascot Oscar who will be at the Stade Velodrome and around Marseille all weekend, posing for photographs and gearing fans up for the game in his own inimitable way!

Travel information

Stade Vélodrome is located in the south of the city of Marseille, about 3.5 kilometres from Marseille's city centre and a kilometre more from central railway station Saint-Charle.
From the Airport, take the A55 in the direction of the city centre and follow the arrows. The journey should take around 25 minutes.
By Metro, take Line 2. Catch the metro southbound at any of the stops in the city centre (e.g. Jules Guesde, Saint-Charles or Noailles), and get off at either Rond-Point du Prado or Sainte Marguerite Dromel (both located at different sides of Stade Vélodrome)

The whole world cries out peace, freedom and a few less fat bastards eating all the pie.

Comment

Lots of Munster action around Vieux Port - we definitely outnumber the opposition in this area at present. However noisy & exuberant Toulon fans gathering at O Quinze on Rue Breteuil while Munster fans making for The Shamrock & O'Malleys both on Quai De Rive Neuve as well as many cafés, brasseries and bars all around the port. Sunscreen definitely required - that sun is hot and the breeze makes it deceptive. Marseille Ferris Wheel will run till 22 or 23 according to the ticket seller who also reckons Munster 'va gagner'!!! Metro especially around Gare St Charles is already pretty full - trains only every 12-15 minutes on a Sunday so be sure to leave yourself enough time if taking metro. Walk from Vieux Port to Stade Velodrome is a pleasant one hour stroll not including stops along the way.
